Interview with Elton Boocock


Elton Boocock is the founder and Managing Director of two companies in different sectors, proving that good business skills are transferrable and experiences learnt in one business, can only but help the other to succeed. Having started his first business (Urban Media) aged 24, a lot of what he now takes for granted, has come through learning at the coal face. During the last recession he established with the help of other local business owners, the Wycombe Business Expo in a bid to help struggling small local companies. He was chosen to help Dragons Den’s Peter Jones select the pilot group of new entrepreneurs for the National Enterprise Academy, has won various awards and is a regular on BBC Three Counties Business and Finance show. With a list of business successes to his name, he insists that it is the failures and mistakes that have made him the business person he is today.

 

Elton’s original company is the one he is still at the helm of and is a digital marketing agency. Given that he started the business before anyone had heard of Google, he has seen many changes. He also runs a ‘software as a service’ business whereby installation companies use his software to run their entire business.
